About Web Hosting Bandwidth and Server Load

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 06:28:28 +0000

By Matt Ryan

If you own an active website, two hosting issues you’ll definitely comes across are bandwidth and server load.

It is interesting to note that the term Bandwidth carries two meanings. Firstly it defines the magnitude of data that can be transferred to and from the server at any given point, hence the total network capacity available for users on a server. Secondly it also relates to the total limit of data transfer allowed for each user in a given month.

Any activity that you perform on the server causes consumption of bandwidth. For example each file you upload or download, any email you send or receive, any web pages that visitors to your website access etc, all of these actions result in network traffic being utilized.

Web hosting firms devise their plans and packages in a way that there’s a limit to total bandwidth that a customer can consume in a month. This makes sure that other users on the shared server also have enough traffic for their website visitors and that hosting companies themselves do not end up buying more bandwidth from their uplink provider.

The other important aspect affecting the performance of your website is server load. While server load has many definitions, it generally refers to the utilization of CPU. Just like every computer has a central processing unit to process instructions received from various applications, a web server also has a CPU that is central to its performance.

Anything you perform on the server adds some load even if very trivial to the CPU. In wider sense, the server load also refers to usage of other components like main memory, hard disk drives etc that are mistakenly taken as part of the CPU.

A request to visit a web page may result in server’s disk drive getting busy fetching files associated to that page from different locations, passing it to the main memory for visitor retrieval. While delivering web pages is a simple task, add customized scripts and web based database solutions in this scenario and very soon you’ll realize how tedious it becomes for the CPU to allocate limited memory among the competing requests.

Life would be much easier if all users on a shared server start to care about the load they are pushing onto the server, however generally that is not the case. Therefore it is important for you to learn if the shared server your website is hosted on is going under heavy load and stress caused by other users. Most of the times it’s only a small number of users that place the server under undue stress and only the system admin can figure out who they are. What you can do is ask your hosting company to move you to another server that is not heavily loaded.

Server load on a shared server is one of the reasons why many website owners prefer to have a dedicated server, especially those with successful websites. On a dedicated server it’s much easier to optimize your html pages and any scripts or databases you may have and see the result of this optimization in terms of faster website access and more satisfactory experience for your visitors.

On the Wal-Mart-ized Web...

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 17:39:00 -0400

Liam says this week's most important trend is web hosting providers' continued expansion of data center footprints. The strong demand for hosting facilities seems like a good sign. At the same time, there are a number of outside-world developments that folks in the hosting business ought to keep an eye on.

1. On Wednesday, in addition to officially releasing RHEL5, Red Hat announced that it will soon launch an open source marketplace called Red Hat Exchange (RHX). As Business Week reports, Red Hat will guarantee the compatibility of RHX products with its platform AND provide tech support for each and every 3rd party product on the exchange. In addition, RHX will allow end users to submit ratings, read reviews and compare notes.

2. Later that afternoon, Microsoft said it will buy Tellme Networks. The Associated Press thinks the deal is worth $800 million to $1 billion.

3. Less than a day later, Cisco announced that it has agreed to acquire WebEx for $3.2 billion (or $2.9 billion, if you deduct WebEx's $300 million cash balance).

4. And last but not least Google sort of confirmed that it's working on a mobile phone.

It's a Wal-Mart-ized web; every Big Co wants to assemble a broader range of more seamlessly integrated products for a wider and better networked audience. This leaves less and less of a market for old school vendors who sell standalone widgets to isolated prospects.

For instance, consider 1&1's recent survey of 765 small business owners. Andreas says 100% of the respondents agree that the absence of a company website is bad for sales, but there's much more to these customers' operations beyond setting up a web presence. Might they not benefit from Zoho or ThinkFree powered productivity apps? SharePoint based collaboration? CRM?

More importantly, Andreas counts "hundreds of thousands of US small businesses" among his customers. As such, one super valuable feature that he's uniquely positioned to deliver is a 1&1 social network through which customers can connect with potential vendors, partners and buyers. I feel like 1&1 is really missing out by amassing a sizable community without leveraging it for its members' benefit.

As SWSoft CEO Serguei Beloussov likes to point out, 1&1 and its competitors have sold tens of millions of "web hosting 1.0" accounts, which collectively generate billions in annual revenue. He's absolutely right - but as you see above, the world's not standing still...

Richard Pryor Charles Wu Same Person

Thu, 15 May 2008 10:19:00 -0400

In Superman III Richard Pryor is a computer programmer; he wonders where all those ½ cents at the end of payroll checks go. He puts them to good use...his paycheck.

Charles WU - head honcho at CW Labs made one of those ISPCON luncheon presentations that was actually interesting. In the middle of it I thought...this guy looked at something boring...and saw billions. All of a sudden it became very interesting.

Unbeknownst to us he noted the slow death of dial-up. But sees dollars in that slow bandwidth...forget 56k...he likes 28k. Forget something in the future that may not work like 500 HDTV channels over the Internet, R&D is always a *itch...lets make some money.

During the presentation Charles used the word trillion...his graphics showed a bunch of lines connecting each other, sort of like a half circle, with arrows going back and forth. His R&D staff has invented some stuff, they want to put the ISP in this graphic. Somewhere near the top left, second dot down. He called it the money spot.

Charles WU wants to put the ISP in the credit card processing system. He wants you to be part of that trillion dollar economy, the part that takes a ½% here and ½% there. Swipe that card and a bunch of people takes a slice of that swipe…someone has to do it.

Talk to WU if you want to understand the technical part, not my area. However there is hardware, software, intellectual property, licensing and other stuff involved.

In the evening Wu kindly gave away food and drinks as we gambled at a charity event. Everyone was happy.

AN Hosting was created in early 2001 by a two man team and expanded at an
amazing rate. In 2005 it was acquired by midPhase and jointly they now host over
150,000 domain names on a modern network comprised of over 1,000 servers.



AN Hosting has followed the trend of many modern hosting providers by only
offering one standard plan to all its users. This does present many advantages
like better customer support and superior client satisfaction seeing as the
hosting provider specializes in only one unique product instead of a wide range
of services. Needless to say that any customer requiring a more tailor made
solution will have to look elsewhere.



Currently the hosting plan offers a robust 500gb disk space, 5000gb of bandwidth
and the possibility to host an amazing 40 domains. Setup is currently free but
this can be expected from most hosting providers nowadays. Other specs include
unlimited e-mail accounts, MySQL databases and sub domains. All hosting accounts
come equipped with the Fantastico manager which permits for one click install of
various popular scripts like Wordpress, Mambo, OScommerce, Sub Dreamer and
b2evolution just to name a few.



Prices vary considerably depending on the payment plan preferred. When paying
for six months the price will be $8.95mo whilst when opting for the 48 moth plan
the price is reduced to only $4.95mo. This is great for customers looking for
long term solutions but the same cannot be said for whoever can�t afford the
$237.60 needed for the upfront payment. Please keep in mind that when ordering
the six month payment plan there is an extra $21.90 fee for the domain, with all
the other options this is totally free.



The site is extremely easy to navigate which is a breath of fresh air when
compared to other hosting companies that chose fill their sites with useless
clutter and promotional offers that only confuse the customers. With AN Hosting
purchasing a hosting plan is simple and an extremely straight forward experience
with no distractions along the way. Furthermore their customer support is
exemplary and receiving a reply to any inquiry generally only takes a few
minutes.



When it comes to payment options presented AN Hosting does require some
improvements. They only accepted form of payment consists of major credit cards
which represents a significant drawback especially for those that do not have
one of the credit cards required. Most hosting providers offer other options
including Paypal payments which has become the industry standard. In our opinion
this is a very negative feature that should be rectified especially if AN
Hosting wishes to cater for international customers.



anhosting.com is an excellent solution for customers that have some previous
hosting experience and are in the market for a stable, long term solution. On
the other hand, people requiring cheap hosting with the option of monthly
payments will have to look someplace else. Either than that AN Hosting is a
trusted hosting provider with many years of experience and an impeccable track
record.
